Evdog & Rhyme Flow - On The Ground (10​.​16​.​12)

about

Ohohoho. On The Ground. This song was hilarious. Evdog and I decided in our talks that this song was going to be AMBIGUOUSLY Non-Pony.

The lyrics were a story about a guy who broke up with a girl, and they still kept a friendship, but she was relying too much on him. As I wrote the song, it evolved into the reality that he in fact needed her.

Then as a twist, I overlaid the song over Fancy Pants and Fleur De Lis forcing a fan canon on them. It seemed to work enough to get EQD. But yes... there is NO PONY lyrics in that song, whatsoever.

lyrics

Dear Girl,

Take a minute to read this letter.
It's been a while since we started being together.

I can remember using words like 'Always Forever'
We were cool and unruly, and doin whatever.

THEN.

You broke it off, for whatever reasons.
I know I cried, and I tried to put back the pieces.

When we tried to make up, it was just facetious.
Cause that part of our lives was a failed thesis.

Still.

Despite the break, we remained friends.
Cause not every break up, means the game ends.

We were together for so long that we knew our faults.
We could tell from a joke and a verbal assault.

BUT

You started treating me a certain way.
Kept me up with your calls, and all you complaints.
Like having all the boyfriend duties, without all the play.
We AIN'T together, so I have to push you away.


VERSE 2 (1:28)

Spending every second of the day by my side.
At first it was cool, because I swelled with the pride.

Knowing that a girl had to be with me every single moment.
But now it stings just a little bit, don't it?

I have friends, you have friends, and they aren't with each other.
But you can't keep apart like a baby with her mother.

I'm a grown man, and you's a grown lady.
So take a day for yourself, and don't call me maybe.

Yeah.

I don't mean it in a mean way. It just...
Rhyme Flow needs his "ME" day.

How'd you make it through your Teen Age?
And for Pete Sakes, blowing up my CELL till my TEETH SHAKES.

C'mon.

You know I love you, this is JUST fact.
But you really gotta learn how to STEP BACK.

I never thought I'd be the one who'd ever stress that.
But it's my patience, and right now you 'bout to test that.


Dear Girl,

Maybe I was just a little hasty.
I said a lot of words, and words can be erased.

Maybe our time spent together made me too complacent.
Maybe the the distance that I built had me truly face it.

Now

I'm not asking for your hand back.
Reverse the words cause I'm feeling like an 'Ass Jack'.

I'm tryna say that you relied on me and kept me on the close.
When the truth is that I leaned on you the most.

And mostly in the sense, that I liked feeling needed.
I liked being you strength when you really felt defeated.

And when the world greeted you with pain I was always on call.
and right now's where I feel I dropped the ball.

So

To summarize, just discard this letter.
Keep on doing what you're doing, now until whenever.

And whenever things get tough, and you don't know what to do.
I am on Speed Dial # 2.
